The 2025 Champions Trophy game between Australia and South Africa faces a serious risk of washing out, since the throw was delayed in the Vital Group B in the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Without 1.5 hours after the planned start time, the game is no longer a full game with 50.

Both teams started their campaign with victories and had a gold chance to reach the semi -finals. The winners of today's game will have a foot in the semi -finals. However, if the match is washed out, it will leave both teams susceptible to the final game of the group level. For those who defeated South Africa Afghanistan with 107 runs in Karachi. In the meantime, Australia defeated arch-rival England after a world record run chase with five gates.

What happens when the match is washed out?

When the match is washed out, both teams share one. There is no reserve day for a group stage game. Therefore, all attempts are made to ensure that a game is possible. Both teams have to beat at least 20 overs for a result.

However, in the KO levels (both the semi-finals and the final) have a reserve day. The game can be played again for all three games the next day. The two semi -finals are planned in Dubai and Lahore for the 4th and 5th March, while the final on March 9th is played in one of the two cities. Therefore, the 5th, March 6th and 10 will act as a reserve day.

In all three games, all attempts are made to end the game on the planned day of the game. If a 20-over match is not possible, only a reserve day is used. In the event that the match is stopped halfway, it will continue from the same point the next day.

When the game on the reserve day is washed out, the team that exceeds the group is qualified for the final. When the same situation occurs in the final, the two teams share the trophy.
